What distinguishes you from your competitors?
What compelling reasons are there to deal with you?
Who are your ideal customers?
What workplace culture will attract and retain the staff and partners you want to work with?

What is the simplest way to communicate these (new) advantages at a glance?
What will get you more money for your business when it’s time for you sell or retire?

Visible Value is sum of your sustainable competitive advantage, reduced to the simplest image, icon or slogan that captures the idea. It’s what makes you valuable in the eyes of your customers.
Is your branding coming up short for the business you want to create?
A dull name or brand is a major limiting factor in what your market imagines of your performance. So unless you want to compete on price alone, consider a brand strategy to create differentiation, establish strengths and credibility to forge a brand worthy of success over the coming years.
